We recommend applying your essential oils topically with a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil. Fractionated Coconut Oil is ideal to use in conjunction with essential oils as it slows down the rate of absorption, which means you can enjoy the benefits for longer!
Coconut oil is widely renowned as a superfood and ultimate natural health product. Due to its deeply moisturising properties, coconut oil can be used to treat mild to moderate cases of common skin conditions, such as atopical dermatitis. Applying coconut oil to dry skin will show a significant improvement in hydration and texture. If that wasn’t enough, coconut oil contains lauric acid, which gives it anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties. This can help calm angry, inflamed areas of the skin.
Coconut oil stays liquid, making it very easy to apply. Colourless and odourless, it will not interfere with the aroma of the essential oils you use it with. You will be able to enjoy the oil of your choice on your skin for longer!
